The window frame for the arched window immediately under the dome is in. They have even replicated the serpentine trim. I think this 80 year old building will be the one structure in the P&L that will "wow" natives and visitors alike.

i haven't seen how it looks in its modern incarnation, but from the historic pictures this is one element i see little point in recreating. It was an outscaled addition back in the day, and I don't see how it adds to the existing building.

Think on the Regional scale.

I was walking down the east side of Main and noticed for the first time how very narrow the lot is on the south side of the Mainstreet theatre. I looked east over to Two Light and can tell that it is much wider than would fit on this lot. A conventional apartment unit/hallway/apartment unit would not work there unless it was somehow cantilevered over the theatre. Hotel rooms would be narrower but I still have doubts about them fitting the narrow space. Anyone have any input into my observation? The latest renderings show and "L" shaped building here.

The L area is approx. 60 x 132 feet from building edge to sidewalk edge
One Light is about 90 feet the short direction

10 foot wide hallway ending at the last two units with a shares well
if two units are 30x30 at the end that's 900 square feet
that leaves 25 foot deep units across the rest. Can do 6x 33x25 units (33 goes the long way of the building)
So for a 30 story tower that's 240 apartments in this part of the L

The average hotel room is 325 square feet
A king bed is 6.5 feet deep
With a 10 foot hallways can fit 8x 15x25 rooms or 10x 12.5x30 foot rooms per side of the hallway (25 goes the short way of the building) If the denser design, in a 30 story hotel that's 600 rooms.

The convention hotel is only 800 rooms so that's a huge amount of space available to work with.

If it was just this lot, take out two hotel rooms per floor for elevators and stairs, two more for each floor's lobby and the utility and maintenance space (1500 square feet per floor is plenty of shared space) and you have 8 rooms per side. That would be an 80 room hotel at 10 stories and would still be a notable and workable project downtown.

Pretty much nailed it. If anyone remembers the tiny parking lot where One Light went up, it was hard to imagine starring at two rows of parked cars and envisioning what could fit in that space.

Is there a time line for when more 4 or 3 Light Information will be released?
